The reasons are, on the one hand, the repatriation of gold reserves by various countries, which has gained momentum. These want to protect themselves from sanctions imposed by the West against Russia. The other is the possible easing of monetary policy by the Fed. Impatience seems to be building among investors, gold buyers and stock and ETF holders. The move away from the U.S. dollar is also taking place in some emerging markets as they also seek to reduce their dependence on the Fed and the United States. So, storing assets offshore is no longer desired. And no one knows what will happen to foreign relations with Russia. Tensions could increase here. As countries prefer to keep their assets in the form of physical gold in their own countries, this should increase the demand for gold.
The fact that the gold price is strong can also be seen from the fact that despite interest rate increases, which are actually bad for the gold price, the gold price is holding up well. Normally, the gold price falls when interest rates rise. But in the past months it was just not so. The gold price has held at a high level. If the Fed stops raising interest rates, or if there are even rate cuts, then this heaves the gold price upward. The fact that US$4,000 per ounce of gold is seen as possible is a result of the base ratios when comparing the Dow and gold and gold and money. If money and stock market levels remain the same, the troy ounce of gold should cost around US$4,000. Gold stock investments should not be missing in any portfolio, for example from Caledonia Mining or Calibre Mining.
